Health
It is vital that young carers are identified and understood in healthcare settings, so that they can get access to the support they need.
At Gloucestershire Young Carers we work strategically with school nurses, GP surgeries and hospitals to spread awareness of the needs of young carers and to improve the way they are identified and responded to.
If you are a healthcare professional and you would like any advice or support please contact our Health & Wellbeing Lead Claire Parker claire@glosyoungcarers.org,uk
